Are you ready for a side-gig that makes you money for sharing, talking, & selling things you don’t have to buy?
No-risk opportunities are hard to find, especially if you do not have to invest your money to make a hundred grand in a year. Salesmen make more money than any other occupation.

The best salespeople work only on commission to get the most for their work. Suppose they get a stipend or a salary. In that case, they get less per sale and trade off income security for lower income until they can afford to leave the salaried position to go for only commissions, often finding more compatible products and handling a wider line of sellables to get paid for too. Would you believe there is a way to get into sales without risking your financial life by going out on a limb?
You could be brokering some salvaged materials for projects around you, or for building tiny houses that will make all those you help to form tiny houses and communities using the best of the materials from the past instead of imports, toxic new products, and wasting money to support big box stores that sell imports as their primary product lines. We can do better, and best of all, you can make a significant income by helping convince others that American-made and built is the best way to help rebuild America, not by buying imports that take our careers to other countries and leave ours without a manufacturing base. Help stop the import problem by selling American parts for houses and projects.
Why don’t more people get into sales? In part because there is no more difficult job than getting paid for your work. In other words, if you do not succeed at selling, you don’t make any significant money, and will soon not have a salary if you don’t produce sales. It is a hard life for many who pick such fields as insurance, for they have the highest job mortality rate of any out there, meaning that very few who go into the business make a successful career out of it.
Real estate brokering is the same con on the workers who go into it thinking they will make millions but instead are used by brokers as tools to get listings from the friends and family, then have the new agents drop out for lack of commissions coming through for the first 3-6 months of being in the business. There is never a salary or draw against commissions in the real estate business unless your relative owns the brokerage firm and wants to treat you special. It is a cutthroat business, and no one who gets into it makes big bucks without lots of time and work to make it happen, and liability if something goes wrong and you get sued for what you should have known or done. Once you believe in what you can achieve, the trick is to put in the time that few see will be required to reach the towers that few will ever climb, where success and wonder fill the days before you finally tire. Will you ever be inspired to retire if you do the things for which you have great passions, so that you can fulfill your dreams?
So what could you do that interests you and would be easy to sell a few? How about salvaged materials that form houses you could sell and make a living better than the wage-hour jobs most use to build a life and raise a family? This can be done if you know the right people, for it is not what you know but who you know in life that makes for success. If you are an honest and caring human who wants to help others and can do it in ways that people will benefit from your help, why not take advantage of the times and start a new career that involves talking to make money? That is all that sales is, the one person advises another on the best product or route for their goals or needs, and the buyer selects it rather than another product.
A great salesman gets a person what they need for a fair price. At the same time, the con man uses the same methods and tactics but steals value from the buyers by selling them inferior products that will not last or are even defective from their creation, intended to break fast and force you to return to buy more. There is a proverbial question that few realize is quite true: “What is the difference between a con man and a great salesman?” The crazy part is the truth of it, the con man ends up in jail, but both use identical techniques, methods that are nearly scientific in their function, and responses they will get when used. The methods of “closing a sale” are many, and trainers like Tom Hopkins can teach people how to use the questions and lead people to answers they want them to feel are their own, so they will say yes and buy your products.
The techniques work, even if you realize someone in your decision-making process is applying them. It is hard to resist giving in and buying what you may not need or want later due to the methods of questions and answers designed to get you to say yes and sign the signature line to buy, be in debt, and sell your future for the benefits you will get today. Rather than sell bad products or services, a great salesman finds the best products and represents the makers, sellers, or builders creating the market. The buyers want help to decide, and your expertise and help to design their dream home, community, or homestead could lead to an excellent living for honest, good people. It is a career path where selling the products people need to do it right at prices they can afford to create incredible homes is a good one you can be proud of, but how do you get into such a business?
Suppose you have the design talent, especially if you can build creatively instead of with toxicity for profit in mind. Most builders forego due diligence to see what their houses do to the buyers after purchase. The builders are making a profit at all costs, including quality, and shorting people on the long-term quality by giving them what looks good but won’t last for insanely high profits. It should be criminal, but it is instead a court battle that few can afford once in debt for bad RVs called tiny houses, and their health is shot. Stop the madness if Wii can, those who see and try to send the message that their health is the most valuable thing you have, and selling out for cheap housing is a fast way to your death. Stop the madness of thinking that mold, the lack of fresh air, and what you eat are not determining your health every morning. Share the ways to be healthy and sell others’ ideas worth paying attention to. Why not learn how to build houses that keep you healthy and in a community where you have and can give support to others?
If so, all will live better by sharing and caring instead of isolating in subdivisions full of houses where no one knows their neighbors. Get a local Outpost growing in a building or a barn so that others will begin to buy all the things they need to help create the local housing that will turn out good for the elders in the community and the kids that build them.
If you have some acreage and want to share, get help, and create a community, I want to help and have the means, materials, and books on how to do this. Are you ready to bring your clans together and create the solutions all need by inspiring them to take a course in life on self-sufficiency, healthy living, organic gardens, and a more straightforward, stress-free path to aging Youthfully, not disgustingly? There is a way, and I am here to help others find it, but I need help to sell it to the ones that need to hear, be inspired, and then help do the work that will benefit society long after this generation I am part of is long gone. Are you ready to become a salesperson for the best things in life, that Wii, those old enough and healthy enough to see, and then show so that the next generations can benefit from what Wii have learned.
When I was young, society treated anyone over 60 like an aged invalid needing to go into a home and be cared for the rest of their lives. Sadly, many in my Baby Boomer generation bought into that story and my contemporaries look like crap on a platter ready to be flushed out of existence. What happened to #Youthing our way into our best years, 66-78, and after that, can be the greatest years of our lives if Wii stay fit in body and mind. It is worth the effort, kids, you under-50-year-olds who think you are getting old already. STOP believing such garbage and get fit to stay fit well into your nineties. The proof is out there that life can be great even after a hundred, though wrinkles are assured, you need not become a weak and helpless lump of flesh until you die.
Join me if you wish on a trip into the future where you can make a living doing what you are meant to do, helping others, and be a part of growing dreams in the form of created houses from salvaging a past few know existed. The best materials to build sustainably, healthy homes that last for lifetimes will continue to be the stuff Wii can salvage for at least another decade, but start now, before more is wasted in landfills and used for fire practice for the fire departments. Save Our Salvage in America, for it is a great future career and produces houses for millions if Wii do this together. Become a salvage miner, builder, or hunter and help get the best out of under the invisibility cloak that keeps millions from making millions out of the salvage industry.
